Fayetteville State cadets receive scholarship awards from the Brill Foundation

A chance meeting at a local fast food restaurant last Spring has produced scholarship awards for four Fayetteville State University Army ROTC cadets.On Aug. 21 Lt. Col. Ed Pethan, chair of the Army ROTC program at Fayetteville State, awarded $5,000 each to Cadet (sophomore) Brenda Rosek-Michel, Cadet (sophomore) Lateassia Roberts, Cadet (junior) Alwin Emanuel and Cadet (junior) Molly Schmaljohn. The scholarship money was awarded in the name of the late Col. Anthony J. Brill, whose Foundation has awarded more than $100,000 in scholarship money to deserving students in the Fayetteville, N.C. area.Pethan said the four awardees were chosen based on their performance, need, and demonstrated ability and desire to become Army officers. Fayetteville State University cadets are part of the Army ROTC battalion hosted at nearby Campbell University.According to James Cooper of Cooper, Davis and Cooper Associates in Fayetteville, the manager of the Brill estate, Col. Brill’s wish was to help deserving young adults realize their dreams by earning college educations. His estate “set aside a considerable amount of money so that young men and women for years to come could achieve their goal of attending college and becoming better citizens.” The four awards presented on Aug. 21 are the first Brill Scholarship awards received by any Fayetteville State Army ROTC cadets. Brill was not a Fayetteville State alumnus, according to Pethan, but he was a native of the area and retired in Fayetteville when his Army career ended.
